I used to collect ideas to act on later too. I still have several documents full of them, not to mention notebooks. Recently, I'm trying to stop looking for more and do something about an idea instead of thinking, "not now."

This! I used to spend ages on organising notes and documents because I believed that would help me work better. I recently gave that up and now focus only on taking action, and I've gotten a lot more work done as a result. Connecting m

I've tried both telling and not telling, and it hasn't made a difference. I've told people and not achieved the goal, told and achieved it, didn't tell and achieved it, and didn't tell and didn't achieve.

Definitely. The thing is, I'm already doing things whenever possible as an individual, but I've spent so long alone that I'm really craving the company that a community provides. I want to start and be part of offline spaces,

I considered that too, but I'd like the group to exist offline as much as possible; talking about ideas isn't the same as acting on them. I really didn't think very deeply about the whole thing before writing it; I was trying

Hi, author here. I think it can go both ways. You learn there's a problem, then try to solve it, then go back to learn more to come up with a better solution. Or you can do something, find out it's not working, then learn more abo
